African Nationhood

Chapter 414 Year of Tesla

(Thanks to book friend Sai Huarui for the tip, thank you puppet!)

In June, Europe continued to be outshone by Nanhua, especially Tesla, which took the lead.

First, Professor Tesla from Nanhua's "Handu Electric Power College" published a series of papers in the "Physical Yearbook" "Basic Principles of Radio Communication", "Realistic Problems to be Solved to Realize Wireless Communication" and "Future Scenarios of Radio Communication" .

The three papers immediately aroused the European scientific community's attention to radio communication technology, and then Professor Tesla published "The Principle and Working Circuit of Radio"

This time Tesla really became popular. He became a phenomenal scientific figure. Suddenly the whole of Europe was crazy about Tesla.

The Tesla studio in Birmingham was packed with people, as European journalists crowded in to interview the science geek.

But they missed the mark. There was no Tesla in the studio in Birmingham, and he was still teaching with his students in southern Africa.

However, the reporters were not there in vain. The studio staff were on hand to demonstrate to them the radio invented by Mr. Tesla and the electric speaker invented by his students.

The staff took out a wooden box radio on site, plugged it in, and tuned it on site to listen to Tchaikovsky's piano music played on a small radio station set up in the studio.

The piano music is euphemistic and long, with ups and downs of movement, friendly and natural tone, and rich emotional color.

Moreover, reporters found that the tone played by this radio can be adjusted independently, which is very convenient.

In September, Tesla published "How to Create Lightning and Ball Lightning", "Radio Control Technology" and "Explanation of the Safety of Conical Coils" in the "Annals of Physics"

It is much stronger than the purely ideal environment mathematical formulas of Tsarist Russian mathematicians.

Tesla declined all outside invitations simply because he was currently working on a very dangerous research project.

……

……

The reporters present all found it novel and interesting. As the radio source changed, the music played on the radio also changed.

A large number of people come to Tesla's studio in Birmingham every day to listen to radios and electronic speakers, and residents around the Birmingham studio also receive the benefit of listening to radios for free.

In July, Shi Na, a researcher at the South China Dominion Institute of Mathematics, published "Three Speed ​​Conjectures About Space Navigation" in the European scientific magazine "Nature".

This series of papers further boosted Nikola Tesla's huge popularity and image as a versatile scientist.

The paper describes in detail the interstellar navigation scenarios that man-made objects can achieve after overcoming the gravity of the earth and the gravity of the sun.

These complex mathematical formulas cannot stop scientists in mathematics and physics. This paper is linked to the rocket equation previously published by Tsarist Russian mathematician Tsiolkovsky.

Moreover, as long as the wires are sufficient, the electronic speakers can be placed at a long distance. For example, the on-site electronic speakers are placed on the roof of the studio, so that the sound of music can be played far away.

Many media outlets rarely put Tesla on their cover, calling him a rare and talented scientist.

……

After the publication of this paper, it once again triggered Europeans' enthusiasm for space travel.

Now people have practical goals and planning ideas for aviation, and more people want to get in touch with researcher Shi Na.

After all, this is a rare Chinese female scientist, and her paper is more operational and forward-looking.

This caused the European media to jokingly call this a typical Tesla year.

This paper is not just a textual description, but uses solid mathematical formulas to describe the man-made objects described in the article in detail, and to deduce the quality of the man-made objects.

This set of equipment is really amazing!

Immediately, major European media rushed to report on Tesla and the radio invented by Tesla.

This research is a "small electromechanical oscillator". According to Tesla's vision, this electromechanical oscillator will cause earthquakes.

When the report was handed over, Shi Jintang couldn't help but be overjoyed and told Ouyang Geng to let Tesla go to the mountain to conduct experiments.

Once successful, it can replace explosives. After all, the South China Autonomous Region now needs large-scale excavation of mountains and rocks, and the consumption of explosives has increased sharply. Tesla was shocked when he learned that Boss Shi had such an attitude. Such a boss must be too stingy.

Since the boss is willing to invest, he naturally wants to verify it.

So Tesla took his students directly to the foot of Matobo Mountain, 25 kilometers south of Handu (Bulawayo), to set up a testing ground.

Because the electromechanical oscillator requires a long-lasting and powerful current input, they had to set up a substation under Matobo Mountain and at the same time clean up the surrounding personnel to avoid accidental injuries.

Fortunately, the population in the South China Autonomous Territory is not large, and most of the black indigenous people have been controlled, so it does not take much manpower to clear the area.

……

September 9, at the foot of Matobo Mountain.

Tesla, who looked solemn and slim, stood next to a wooden workbench that was half a man tall. There were several knobs painted in different colors on the workbench, which represented different voltages.

And his electromechanical oscillator is a hammer driven by electricity and steam power. The principle that this hammer can cause earthquakes is to put it bluntly, it uses the principle of resonance.

Tesla once conducted experiments in the house where he lived. He once successfully triggered the resonance of the house and almost buried himself in the rubble.

Therefore, he firmly believes that his concept is feasible and correct.

After Shi Jintang learned of his idea, the reason why he spared no effort in manpower and material resources to support his experiment was to let him understand that the idea had a low chance of success.

After all, the idea of ​​using human power to cause earthquakes in nature is absurd.

No matter how much debate there is, a real-life experiment is more convincing.

"Professor Tesla, are we ready, can we start the experiment?"

Tesla nodded, "Let's get started."

As his order was given, the steam engines on site began to fire.

Then came the long time of burning the boiler. When the pressure gauge on the boiler showed that the pressure was sufficient, the huge steam engine burst out with a huge noise.

The mechanical forging hammer installed at the base of the mountain began to expand, contract and vibrate continuously.

"哐哐~~"

The sound became louder and louder, but the forging hammer did not cause much abnormality except for smashing down a lot of earth and stone debris.

Tesla did not give up and directly turned the knob on the experimental bench to start the motor.

With the addition of electric motor power, the hammering speed of the mechanical forging hammer has increased.

However, it was beyond our power to reach a frequency that caused the mountain to resonate with it. The experiment lasted from morning to noon, but the huge mountain did not vibrate in resonance as expected.

The mechanical forging hammer only harvested a pile of rock debris. Tesla's face was filled with disbelief. Why could he collapse a house but not a mountain?

……

Just when Tesla was confused, a young couple in Walvis Bay got off the "Hot Springs City" cruise ship. Seeing the bustling seaside port city, they felt that it was full of freshness.

"Albert, you see the environment here is really great. I like it very much, and the flamingos over there are also very novel."

The young man with curly hair and shiny forehead nodded, "Let's go Mileva, our new life is about to begin."
